Your right, I've a 2 year old laptop, with PAE. (I think the Celeron
were the last chip to not have PAE..)
Could be. They're the last Intel chips I have here. (Well, my wife's
laptop has a Core2Duo in it, but she doesn't do music stuff with it.
Thanks for bringing ArtistX to my attention, I'd only tried 0.7 a couple
of years back, and it was already
outdated then! But there's a new release, (0.8 :-0 ) which is based on
Ubuntu 10 (unlucky there...).
Yah, I'm downloading it now, will see if perhaps this "R2" (second
release version, I guess) has fixed it.
It seems pretty promising, Ill download it over the next days, and
hopefully its all good!
KXStudio is another intresting (Buntu based) distro... Its shipping with
LADISH, JACK2, ArdourVST, QTracktorVST etc
I downloaded KXStudio. It's based on KUbuntu 10. It hangs on my laptops
with a black screen.
KDE4 is a major resource hog, not something I'd recommend for an
audio-focussed system.
Really up to date, there's a PPA for Ardour3, Mixxx 1.8, etc
KX does focus on "visual appeal" as well as functionality. Ie: Its
probably not *the* fastest system to boot / login.
Or do things with. The more "visual appeal" there is, the more the
system has to be doing intense things with your video. That can be a big
problem if video and audio are sharing interrupts!
But it sure looks a lot more slick than my bare bones LXDE ;-)
What a waste of resources. I like LXDE and even Fluxbox instead for
audio systems. I'd rather have my processor making sounds than doing
some silly menu fading effect. ;-)
